Sherborn Emergency Data Base Is Ready to Help You - Sign Up Today!
The Disability Advisory Committee has partnered with the Police and Fire Chiefs, as well
as the CoA to make emergency response for disabled, special needs, and elderly citizens
more efficient and effective.
There is a single page form in this issue of The Sherborn Link titled "Residents' Personal
Emergency Data Form". Officer Benjamin Stickney will input your personal information
into a secure data base. Only the Police, Fire and Rescue will have access to your
personal information. When a call comes in from your home, or if your area of town is
experiencing an emergency we will be better able to serve and protect you. Some of the
data will be transmitted to the Commonwealth's 911 Enhanced Disability Telephone
Service. Six categories from the Sherborn form are a part of the Commonwealth's
automated system.
LSS Life Support System (equipment to sustain life)
B Blind
MI Mobility Impaired (bedridden, or use of a wheelchair)
DHH Deaf and Hard of Hearing
CI Cognitive Impairment (Alzheimer's, Dementia, mental impairments, etc.)
SI Speech Impairment
TTY Teletypewriter Device (for telephone service)
Police Chief Rick Thompson strongly suggests that all residents who have an identified disability review the Personal Emergency Data Form, complete the form and forward it to the Sherborn Police Department by mail (17 Washington Street), or by facsimile (508-651-7865) attention Officer Benjamin Stickney so that public safety personnel are best prepared to provide services to you in the event of an emergency. Any resident may call the police department (508-653-2424) and request that an Officer come to your home and retrieve your Personal Emergency Data Form. Your Disability Advisory Committee, Council on Aging, Police Department and Fire Department are here to serve you! Please contact Chief Thompson with any questions or concerns (508-653-2424, ext. 15X
